Emirates Wishlist for 2014 (Incl Route Rumours)
 
Fresh thread for 2014

My wishful thinking:

An A380 to JNB and a second daily to DUR to allow for better connection times!

a380's for the GRU and GIG/EZE routes? (thinking on the WorldCup)

Thanks for the link :-)

better customer service :rolleyes:

ability to waitlist for D class for Gold and Plat members again

open up D class to Gold and Plats before other members

new J class offering (as much as I like the angled lie flats I think CX new offering is better)

suites as F with no more skycruiser lottery

better online amendment booking system, clearly showing it may change your ticket type even if you do not amend a particular segment

more competitive fares ex DXB

Upgrade EK 20 to the 380

EX MAN flights to the USA

HMPS Dec 30, 2013 4:32 pm

Fly A 380 to India

Going to sound like a broken record, but as this a new thread, I'm going to throw in my 2p :)

Flights to ATL, MIA, EDI, ABZ, ORD, SAN, OSL, BRU and DPS, plus transcontinental flights from LGW, MAN or BHX.

Better customer service and the biggest one for EK would be an "all EK" lounge for any paying passenger, regardless of class of travel, or skywards level.

Agree with your list of cities but SAN is pushing it :). I'd add BOS to the list as well & put more 380's into the US. I still fly thru JFK regardless of destination in the US because of this. Another city they may want to add is MEX

As for the "ALL EK lounge idea, must disagree. I already think they should have more separate F & C lounges at busy airports like JFK, LHR, FRA, etc. I have no problem with more lounges for other passengers ( Silver, economy, etc) but not mixed in w F (and J) passengers. All that would do is make F & J less special (and not worth the premium charged)

Another: ability to use miles from other accounts by nominating ie when upgrading my wife and I why can't I use separate accounts online? The last time I called up they still took from one account :rolleyes:

BOS is already confirmed for 10th March '14 and the 380s will be rolling out to the other US destinations soon

Still hoping for a dxb - abv flight (abuja, Nigeria)

Str1tch Dec 31, 2013 1:43 am

MIA, XIY, OSL, BRU, HEL, ORD, BER once the new airport opens, anywhere in Canada once they stop the squabbling.

I thought the 380's were only coming to LAX & SFO. Is that not correct? I'd like to see it in IAH as well

My wish: Service to Stansted using Boeing 777s or (highly unlikely) A380s.

I second DPS and ABV.
